f*** yeah I absolutely love this.

 

[SirloinUB]

As a Edmontonian, I really liked Kostin and really don’t like yamomoto.

Fwiw, draisaitl always spoke highly about playing with yamo. He is a little waterbug.

Personally, I felt him to be quite useless this season.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Picking up two guys for free, don't mind it. Both are young and have some upside. Not much risk.

Kinda makes me wonder if there isn't also something more in the works.

 

[NickH8]

Kostin is a great depth guy. Yammamoto is meh. In the end we get them for free so cool.

3 million for Yamamoto, Kostin is RFA

 

[Debrincat93]

stevie is back baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[JediOrderPizza]

I hope this means we don't dip into the free agency.

 

[Hoog]

Love me some Klim!!! We just got tougher! Also, Yamo could turn onto something and if not, we don't lose a thing. So this is a plus, plus.

 

[heyfolks]

Love the Kostin pick up!!!!

 

[Frk It]

Best thing we’ve done today.

 

[DamonDRW]

So he simply made Kenny a favor by taking these two guys

 

[Henkka]

Maybe Yamamoto is our "debrincat"

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Klim played for St Louis so you could see this coming… There are rumors he is heading back to the K.

I like both of these pickups and obviously the price was right.

 

[Konnan511]

Nice. Can be a half ppg for 3mil at 24yo and it cost us nothing. I'll take it.

 

[Ricelund]

"Oh my god, Steve gave up Future Considerations?! I loved his scouting report!"

 

[Ishad]

Don't mind this trade, but it would be nice to see a trade where we aren't acquiring a reclamation project.

 

[izlez]

Not world changers, but why were we able to get them for free?

 

[Detroit Knights]

As a Edmontonian, I really liked Kostin and really don’t like yamomoto.

Please god, don't hold back

 

[The Zermanator]

Helps reach cap floor, free, and more competition for the bottom 6. Nothing to complain about here. And could be some untapped potential for both.

Hope a trade for a top 6 scorer can materialize too.

 

[Detroit Knights]

imagine we trade yamo to ottawa for debincat straight up lmao.

ok ok done with the insanity.................or AM I

Klim played for St Louis so you could see this coming… There are rumors he is heading back to the K.

Might be with the usage he was getting in Edm, with barely 10 minutes a night. We have more ice time to give him not double-shifting McDrai all the time.

 

[saska sault]

So we added depth for nothing. If Kostin heads to the KHL I assume we keep his rights since he is a RFA. He may stay with more ice time available in Detroit? Got to think we move on from a guy or 2 though as their is a bit of a log jam upcoming.

Yamamoto is going to add a nice piece of offense , sure he has something to prove.

 

[WaW]

So he simply made Kenny a favor by taking these two guys

It's the signing rights to Kostin for taking on 1 x 3 million of Yamamoto. I think they're both valuable enough assets and would improve our bottom 6.

Whether or not we can keep Kostin from bolting to the K is a different question but this is a can't-lose move for Yzerman lol.
